To allwhom/ t may concern.-

Be it known that I, Brennan W. Menen, of the city and 'county of St.Louis, and State ot' Missouri, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Frintin ,ng-Presses;I and l do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and clear description thereof, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, and made to .form a part of this specification.

This invention relates, tlrst, to a certain com bination `of printingand impression cylinders, and of conducting-tapes and tape-rollers, bymeans of which I am enabled to print both sides of two continuous sheetsot' paper in passing once through thepress; and, secondly,

to a peculiar construction and combination of the turtles and galleys.

ln the accom panyin g drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective orV sometricalView oi the improvement as arranged for use. Fig.` 2 is a longitudinalsectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a top view of the turtles.Fig. 4 is a similar `View, a portion of the galleys being rcmoved. Fig.5is a transverse sectional view of one of the type-cylinders, withturtle arranged asi'or printing. Fig. (i is alongitndinal sectional Viewet' one of the type-cylinders, showing specially the mode of securingthe turtles.

A represents the frame-work of the press, which will be made of suitablematerial-iron being preferred-iu such manner as to be adapted to receiveand support the operative parts of the press.

B B representthe printing or type cylinders, the shafts of whi `hl willb'e provided with suitable bearings in frame A, and they will receivemotion in the "directions ofthe arrows seen in Fig. 2 from the mainshaft (i through 'medium of gear-wheels, so censtructedandmade tooperate that the revolutions of the said cylinders B B will be inperfect harmony. The shafts of said cylinders B B' will have securedupon them near their ends rings, as b, (seen in Figs. 5 and 6,) whichare adapted to ail'ord suitable bearings for the turtles or typeforins,and also to afford the means of securing the said turtles for operation,which may be eii'ected by means of bars, as c, (seen clearly in Fig. 6,)the said bars bein g provided with hooks, as d, which talle intosuitable staples secured Vto the inner sides of the said turtles, asseen 1n pages.

Fi g. 6. .lhe said turtles E (shown clearly in Figs. 3 and 4) w'ill beformed in two semicircular part-s, in such manner that when two of saidparts may be arranged together for operation,

as seen in Fig. 1, and furnished with type, as

hereinafter described, they may aiord the cornplete and necessarycylindrical printing-surface. VThe base plates of said turtles (seen atE', Fig. 4) will have made in them transverse slots, by means of which,through the agency of bolts and nuts, as seen in Fig. 5,the galleybars emay be secured upon the" turtles in such manner as to'be allowed freelateral motion, in order t facilitate the easy insertion of the galleysand their proper rela-tive adjustment after insertion. The saidgalley-bars e will have formed in their sides longitudinal grooves'adapted to receive suitable shoulders. of the galleys, as seen in Fig.5, and thereby secure or anchor the said gal- -leys in aproper mannerwith reference totheir axis of rotation. The said galleys (marked g)will be of length and width adapted to the columns of ordinarynewspaper, with projecting flanges adapted to serve as column-rules, andalso to secure the type laterally, the 'Ina-ttor may be set up in thegalleys and without change or alteration of any kind inl sorted in theturtles. Thenumberof galleys in a turtle willbe equal to the number ofcolumns. required for a single page of the newspaper tov be printed, sothat two of the said turtles,

forming one complete cylinder, will embrace the formsof type necessaryforv printing the two pages of the paper that appear upon the saine sideof the unfolded sheet and the other cylinder .will aiord the forms forthe other two rules rmlynd compactly together by means ofthe inclinedwedges h h, (seen in Fig. 3,) which maybe suitably operated for thepurpose by means ot the screws Il h' which work through" the foot stocksi, and the type will be properly secured and locked in the'diil'erentgalleys by means of followers at the foot of each galley, operaledbymeans of lscrews, as i', working througlnthe stocksz'..
